WRITING-PEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,551, dated May 10,1904.

Application filed February 24, 1904. Serial No. 195,052. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY O. REEsE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore city, in the State of Maryland, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Writing-Pens, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in pens, the object being toprovide a pen which will enter the ink well or bottle only a limited orpredetermined distance, and the further object is to prevent ink fromreaching the penholder.

With these objects in view my invention consists of a pen having atongue out and struck inward from the body of the pen at orapproximately at right angles in position to strike the bottle-neck tolimit the insertion of the pen thereinto and the slot formed by cuttingout the tongue, serving to prevent ink from running back upon theholder.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View in perspective. Fig. 2is an inverted longitudinal section, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section.

A represents the pen, and 2 is a tongue out from the stock of which thepen is formed and bent inwardly from the inner end thereof at rightangles to the body of the pen, leaving a slot 1 and projectingsufficiently far from the inner edges of the pen to form a stop toprevent the pen from entering a bottle-neck beyond that point, thetongue striking against the edge of the bottle and forming a stop toprevent its further insertion thereinto and preventing the ink fromflowing back on the holder. At the same time the slot prevents an excessof the writing fluid from accumulating upon it and primarily prevents itfrom falling back upon the penholder, the excess of ink flowing offthrough the slot 1.

It might be added that the stop may perform the additional function ofpreventing the pen from being inserted too far into the penholder.

A pen of this character can be easily and quickly made at a triflingadditional expense, and, above all, is most effectual in the performanceof its functions.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an article of manufacture, a pen having a tongue out therefrom andbent inwardly from one end of the slot formed by said out, said tongueextending beyond the edge of the pen thereby forming a stop to limit theinsertion of the pen into a bottle and preventing the flow of ink fromreaching the holder.

, 2. As an article of manufacture, a writingpen having a tongue outtherefrom and bent inwardly from the upper end of the slot from whichthe tongue is formed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY O. REESE.
